Jester of Death

[Verse 1]
Painted grin in the gallows light
Cards cut deep in the crooked deck
He bows
He spins
Then he snaps my neck
That jester of death just cracks a joke at the wreck
Blood-red crown on a rusted throne
He carves his rules in my broken bones
“Every king needs a kingdom to burn
” he sings
Chaos King with a match and a ring
[Chorus]
Psychotic laughter
Echoes in the rafters
Jester of death
You’re pulling every string
Psychotic laughter
Building
Climbing faster
All hail
All hail the Chaos King
[Verse 2]
Hearts on spikes in a court of ash
He flips the table
Lets the bodies crash
Says
“Order’s just a mask you wear”
Then tears it off and leaves me naked and scared
He juggles fears like loaded dice
Makes me bet my breath on a single slice
I scream
“Whose side are you on tonight?”
He grins
“I serve the side that bites” (hey!)
[Chorus]
Psychotic laughter
Echoes in the rafters
Jester of death
You’re pulling every string
Psychotic laughter
Building
Climbing faster
All hail
All hail the Chaos King
[Bridge]
[Half-time breakdown hits
Guitars lurch and choke]
Crown of thorns
Made of broken teeth
Kneel right down
Feel the ground beneath
He says
“Dance”
As the skies run red
Every step you take
Writes my name in your head
[Chorus]
Psychotic laughter
Echoes in the rafters
Jester of death
You’re pulling every string
Psychotic laughter
Building
Climbing faster
All hail
All hail the Chaos King

metal, Modern metalcore with down-tuned chugs, double-kick bursts, and dissonant leads. Male vocals switch between guttural fry screams and soaring melodic hooks. Verses stay tight and syncopated, chorus opens huge with gang shouts and layered harmonies. Brief half-time breakdown drops into palm-muted riffing and feedback squeals, then a final full-band hit.
